Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for producing embossed web material, of the type comprising two or more embossed plies bonded to one another by gluing.
  • the present invention also relates to an embossed laminate product constituted by two or more plies bonded to one another by gluing.
  • the embossed sheet web material is used to produce kitchen paper, toilet tissue, paper napkins, paper handkerchiefs and the like.
  • this web material is constituted by two or more plies of tissue paper with a weight ranging for example from 10 to 50 g per m 2 , which are usually embossed separately from one another and subsequently bonded, usually by means of an adhesive. In this way particularly soft and thick laminate products, with high fluid absorbency characteristics; are obtained.
  • Two or more plies are normally embossed and bonded according to two methods, known respectively as "tip-to-tip” and "nested” embossing.
  • two plies of embossed material are bonded by lamination between two axially parallel and counter-rotating embossing cylinders.
  • the two rollers are provided with points which correspond at least partially with each other in a lamination nip defined in the tangent point between the two rollers.
  • An adhesive is applied to the protuberances of one of the two embossed ply to obtain stable bonding with the other ply in correspondence with the protuberances of the other ply in the zones in which the points of the two embossing cylinders coincide with each other.
  • embossing devices of this type are described in US-A-3,414,459 , US-A-4,978,565 , US-A-5,173,351 , US-A-5,096,527 , US-A-3,961,119 , WO-A-9720687 , WO-A-9720688 , WO-A-9720689 .
  • the plies are bonded so that the protuberances of one ply nest in correspondence with the cavities between the adjacent protuberances of the other ply.
  • the two embossing cylinders are not pressed against each other in correspondence with the relative points and the two plies are bonded to each other by lamination through a pressure roller which cooperates witch the surface of one of the embossing cylinders, on which both plies fed from the nip between the embossing cylinders are positioned.
  • Normally embossing is constituted by a geometrical and uniform distribution of protuberances typically with a frustoconical or frusto-pyramidal shape on the two plies.
  • systems have been designed in which protuberances of various shapes are combined with one another to obtain a particular decoration.
  • US-A-4,320,162 describes an embossing system in which embossing is produced on each of the two plies constituted by uniform and geometrical distribution of small protuberances positioned with a high density, forming fine background embossing, combined with a low density distribution of protuberances of complex shape and of larger size, forming a decorative pattern.
  • WO-A-9944814 and WO-A-0078533 describe embossing methods and devices with different configurations, with which it is possible to obtain particularly appreciable aesthetic effects and which offer some advantages in terms of production flexibility.
  • EP-B-0797705 (corresponding to WO-A-9618771 ) describes an embossed product constituted by two sheets of tissue paper embossed with designs substantially identical to each other, each formed by a background geometrical pattern, constituted by an extremely dense distribution of small protuberances, and by a less dense distribution of protuberances of larger size and complex form, forming a decorative pattern.
  • the decorative pattern is higher than the background geometrical pattern and an adhesive is applied to the protuberances of which it is formed.
  • WO-A-9727365 describes an embossed paper product constituted by two plies bonded together by gluing.
  • the first ply is provided with an embossing design constituted exclusively by a distribution of small protuberances, with a high density and forming a background geometrical pattern, while the second ply is decorated with a design constituted exclusively by protuberances of large size forming decorative designs.
  • WO-A-9535205 describes a method for producing an embossed web product comprising two plies bonded to each other by gluing, wherein:
  • the protuberances of the second ply nest between the protuberances of the first ply in a "nested" configuration.
  • the protuberances of the first series form designs or complex decorative patterns, while the protuberances of the second series form a uniform geometrical distribution of a high density of points with a simple shape.
  • the different height of the protuberances produced on the first ply makes it possible to reduce the total quantity of adhesive applied to the web product.
  • the design or complex decorative pattern, constituted by the protuberances of the first series provides an extremely appreciable aesthetic effect on the finished product, especially if surrounded by a background constituted by the smaller protuberances of the second series.
  • the first and second series of protuberances may be intended as protuberances separate from each other, but also alternatively or in combination protuberances of different heights bonded to each other, that is forming a single body.
  • the concept underlying the invention also includes a method in which the complex decorative patterns are formed by one or more projections each formed by at least two portions of different height. In this case the two or more portions of different heights forming the projections constitute the protuberances of the first and of the second series respectively.
  • US-A-5,173,351 describes another method for producing an embossed web product, in which the protuberances of one of the plies are of different heights to reduce the quantity of adhesive applied.
  • FR-A-2602999 describes a tip-to-tip procedure, in which colored adhesive is applied to all the protuberances of one of the two plies, to obtain a decorative effect similar to a print.
  • a colored adhesive is also suggested in GB-A-1225440 , to obtain analogous effects. In this case, the adhesive is applied to all the protuberances geometrically distributed on the ply.
  • the object of the present invention is to produce a method and a device for producing an embossed web material, which makes it possible to obtain particular aesthetic effects unobtainable with traditional methods and devices, maintaining or improving the technical characteristics of the product and eliminating or reducing the limits to the shapes and extensions of complex decorative patterns, imposed by technical requirements for suitable and gauged adhesive distribution.
  • the object of the present invention is also to produce an embossed sheet product which has high fluid absorbency capacities, is very soft and has particular aesthetic and decorative effects.
  • one of the two plies to be bonded is provided with a first series of protuberances of greater height, to which the adhesive is applied, and a second series of protuberances of lesser height, and wherein the protuberances of the first and of the second series in combination form , complex decorative patterns, each complex decorative pattern being formed by at least a protuberance of the first series and at least a protuberance of the second series, and wherein said complex decorative patterns are distributed with a density equal to or less than 2 patterns per cm 2 .
  • the complex decorative patterns may thus be produced with much greater freedom, as it is not necessary for the entire embossed surface in correspondence with said patterns to the provided with adhesive.
  • adhesive may be applied to a variable surface of each complex decorative pattern independent of the size and form of this pattern.
  • the adhesive is colored and thus provides the complex decorative pattern with a chromatic effect which increases the overall aesthetic effect of the pattern.
  • the two plies which are thus bonded may be smooth, with the exception of the protuberances which form the complex decorative pattern on one of the two plies.
  • the two plies may also each be provided with an equal distribution of protuberances, and these may be bonded with a tip-to-tip configuration.
  • At least the first ply is provided with a background pattern or texture, for example extremely dense embossing of reduced size, that is micro-embossing.
  • the embossing is produced on the ply together with the protuberances which form the complex decorative pattern, in a single embossing operation, with a single embossing cylinder.
  • the protuberances of the first and of the second series are produced with a single procedure, that is with points of different heights produced on the same cylinder.
  • the protuberances of the background embossing are preferably smaller in height than the protuberances of the second series, that is the protuberances of lesser height which form the complex decorative pattern.
  • the background embossing has the same height as the protuberances of the second series or even an intermediate height between the height of the protuberances of the second series and the height of the protuberances of the first series,
  • the decorative patterns constituted by the combination of the protuberances of the first and of the second series of protuberances produces on the first ply may be distributed with a density ranging from 400 to 20000 patterns per m 2 .
  • the protuberances of the second series (that is the protuberances of greater height) may occupy a percentage ranging from 0.3 to 10% of the total surface of the web product. In this way on the one hand sufficient reciprocal adhesion of the plies is guaranteed and on the other the quantity of adhesive per unit of surface of the web material is limited.
  • the decorative patterns constituted by the combination of the protuberances of the first and of the second series occupy a percentage ranging from 1 to 25% of the total surface of the product.
  • the invention further concerns a device according to claim 22, for performing the above described method.
  • the invention also relates to a sheet product, comprising according to claim 12 comprising:
  • the protuberances of the first and of the second series form in combination with each other complex decorative patterns, each complex decorative pattern being formed by at least one protuberance of the first series and at least one protuberance of the second series.
  • the complex decorative patterns are distributed with a density equal to or lower than 2 patterns per cm 2 .
  • the adhesive is colored and provides said complex decorative pattern with a chromatic effect.
  • the second ply may be smooth, or decorated with a decorative pattern analogous to the one on the first ply, with tip-to-tip bonding, or provided with a background pattern, for example dense embossing or even embossing with geometrical patterns of larger size, possibly with smooth zones in correspondence with the decorative patterns of the first ply.
  • At least the first ply or preferably both the plies are provided with background micro-embossing, that is with a more or less geometrical background texture, constituted by fine embossing or by a texture produced on the ply or plies during manufacture in the continuous machine which produces the plies from the fiber and water mix.

  • one or both of the embossing units 1, 3 and 5, 7 may have two steel rollers, provided with points and recesses, in a per se known way.
  • the points of the rollers 1 and 5 are of simple geometrical shape, for example a truncated conical or a truncated pyramidal shape, and are positioned with a density ranging from 10 to 200 points per cm 2 , and preferably greater than 30 points per cm 2 .
